Microblogger allows you to easily create a microblog sidebar with quick updates of your thoughts and actions, but it also comes with a useful blog activity tracker so your readers can keep up to date with the rest of your community! The plugin is highly customisable, allowing you to have complete control over the way your bloggings are shown to your audience.
The plugin is also accompanied by a mobile UI that will allow you to write microblogs and see recent activity on any wap/GPRS/3G mobile phone – for the cost of around 3KBs data transfer (1 or 2 pence UK depending on your network provider)!
Also, the modular design of the plugin opens the door for third party additions to the plugin.
Development is still very much on going, so frequent updates are to be expected!
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! So please drop me a line on the comments area of the microblog page on my blog, or at samuel.ecwilliams@googlemail.com

Live Blogging is a plugin that allows you to insert micro/live blogs into posts with automatic updating of the content.
Note: I am not really a good coder. More like a copy-paste hacker. I keep this plugin updated, but adding functionality and such may not be so prompt – if at all it happens. I am mostly updating this to include bugfixes.
Special thanks to <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/users/willjw/" rel="ugc">Will Woodward</a> for bugfixes offered in the support section.
This plugin is based on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-blogging/" rel="ugc">Live Blogging plugin by Chris Northwood</a>. Fixes some outdated code and allows adding links to the live blog in Twitter updates.
To see this plugin in use, it’s probably easiest to watch <a href="http://www.pling.org.uk/static/Live_Blogging_for_WordPress_2.0.swf" rel="nofollow ugc">this screencast</a>.
Live Blogging is a plugin developed to support blogs that are doing live micro blogging of running events.
Using WordPress 3.0’s custom post types, the plugin allows you to create these micro blog entries in a stripped down version of the normal post edit screen. These micro blog entries then get included in a post which has been activated as the microblog.
By default, the plugin uses AJAX polling to allow your readers to instantly update what they are viewing, including any new comments posted on the post. For professional bloggers, Meteor is supported, which gives the smoothest updating experience for your viewers and also significantly reduces the load on your server. (Note: This meteor part of the code has not been updated since the original. I don’t know how well it will work now.)
Additionally, the plugin also supports integration with Twitter – if activated, the first 239 characters of each live blog entry (including permalink to live blog page) will be posted to Twitter when they are made.
Using this plugin will give you an advantage over your competitors if you’re blogging from live events – your readers will get updates quicker, and it will integrate into your blog better than competing systems, such as CoverItLive.
